funny au information NOW [launching furniture via telekinesis]
MY FUCKING HOUSE. IT IS IN SHAMBLES
also your wish is my command. prepare for a wall
for things to make sense, i should give background on the spearheader of the au. aka, why the au even fucking exists. and once i do THAT then i’ll explain it so its not just. “ok how the fuck did this happen”
so to get it out of the way. i have this very particular oc, Tuppoi, whom i post abt on and off but ive never really explained. mainly due to the fact that if i were to explain her properly then any post would become the equivalent of the great firewall of china. but for au’s sake i’ll summarize what the fuck she is, how she do, and how she created another timeline. aka this au
tuppoi came from an AAHW cloning batch that uses fuckn, dna samples from prior to marshmellow madness when animals theoretically existed. there were 3 others in her batch but we’re only focusing on Fuckhead right now. her sample contained mostly lizard & skink dna, and some chromosome fuckery later, heres why she has four hands. some dissension shit later of “this job fucking SUCKS” and her technical brother was wounded in the crossfire of escaping, while also being slapped into a coma due to tuppoi’s own medical malpractice. she cant Medicbag. this caused her to want to revive him, so she put her talent of technical machinery to use and started to produce weaponry to raise funds to bring em back. this wasn’t enough though, so she switched to android manufacturing. many monopoly money later and she’s risen to the top where she can start asking around for those to revive her brother. which, smthn abt a fragmented S3LF later, she decides that she HAS to attract the attention of stygian in order to bring him back. monopolization and “fuckoff SQ” later, stygian arrives like the mercy from overwatch gif and revives her brother for shits and giggles then despawns (this is a pissass explaination but the visual works). this causes tuppoi to realize that death is a meaningless concept in nevada if you truly can just bring someone back from the dead, since she didnt fully believe it prior. and once she discovered what the fuck dissonance is (after one of her androids got killed), she got set on “resetting” nevada to its former glory, prior to the nexus’ downfall and prior to any improb drive activation. the “default of nevada” as she’d coin it.
so a fuckton of going back and forth between the SQ and purgatory shit later (the SQ deems her as a threat, and fuck i don’t blame them!) she opens a gate, nether portal, whatever to purgatory to let a very fucking dangerous thing out to scorch nevada. and with the help of her fuckass improb drive ipad infected with a null variable, which effectively bypasses the theoretical admin system of nevada (think like a pc), she completely reset nevada. though in canon she both succeeded AND failed due to an interloper completely splitting the process and causing her timeline to splinter off from the current, instead of completely resetting the nevada they resided in.
tldr, tuppoi is a fucking smug asshole and with the help of “i know too much for my own good”, she fractured reality because she saw the current reality as too easy, and went to make reality into her own vision.
okay are you still here. i didnt scare you off right. okay cool, so now about the au she successfully created and the shit you actually ASKED ABOUT,
the au Tuppoi created can best be summarized as “if cyberpunk 2077 took place in nevada, and if everything was a theoretical utopia”. everything is so technologically advanced that atleast every grunt has an augmentation of some sort. and where the SQ was trying to uphold the status quo of the machine, the SQ here is trying to completely break it in order to cause anarchy, out of sheer distaste under Tuppoi’s utopian and ever-so-subtle dictatorish rule.
a bit more context on to how the au was created, once tuppoi was slapped into the new timeline they were thrown immediately into when marshmellow madness was about to happen. so to prevent THAT and from a certain null integer spawning, with the power of her fuckass improb drive she completely deleted it. and since improb drives hadn’t even been conceived yet; it was freeroam for her to do whatever she wanted, to be perceived as a god and to shape nevada into her molding. and so her second course of action was to completely revoke The Maker’s admin role and to merge a certain fuckshit with The Machine, basically turning a degrading and almost deceased imac into a modern day gaming computer. so now, tuppoi has complete reign under nevada!
ok i fucking deviated BAH. morw about the au since this is not an exclusively tuppoi ramble even though she is keenly tied to it.
the au, the terminal au, named as such since. you can take terminal alot of different ways and also >computer terminal. grunts are effectively under a hivemind to stay “correct” and to follow their assigned tasks, their goals. much like actual madcom canon except the machine got fuckshit pissy about that not being followed. though here since every grunt is augmented, they’re hooked to the machine’s server which forces them to behave and not “act out of line”, making it VERY difficult to dissent, BUT. the SQ (which i probably need to rename huh) managed anyway from varying points;
doc being a super hacker and able to reroute past the machine’s connection, dei just turning off connection to the machine and doing the same thing for sanford— connecting to doc’s server if needbe for hacking purposes, and hank just. Well. Fucker is 80% bionic so he’s sort of relying off doc anyway, so he’s hardwired to doc’s server. really most of this can be summarized up to “me and the boys avoiding the school firewall”
jebus likely exists but not in the way you’d think, im still thinking about him but he’d be a savior in his own way, crackpot ate shit and died aka i dont even know if he exists considering in the au, nexus city didnt even get established, tricky i need to think about but he’d either be Mostly organic or Mostly mechanical, i cant tell. bro has to have a stark contrast somewhere and im still debating. employers only half-exist but their role isn’t “all-powerful overseeing gods”, its “forced into overseeing districts of nevada from their stations”, so every employer is forced to be the auditor since tuppoi does Not trust anyone. not even with creative mode she just Doesnt trust anyone, and she has no need to in hindsight.
phobos also doesnt exist. Shocking. or well, maybe crackpot&him could exist but they’d be so rewritten. maybe they’re a warhammer40k terminally online club idk LMAO.
feel like i should elaborate on both doc & hank’s designs so far but i think they’re self explanatory. doc has the Big Computer on his hip and is shaped like a hackerman, also has lightup sketchers cause he would. and he’d pull up his pc with holograms so that shit’s neat i think. also of course he’d be able to hack stuff, but his skills are Greatly Enhanced when his pc is on, at the tradeoff of him risking being discovered by tuppoi due to so many anonymous and heavily encrypted packets being sent to her server (the machine).
and hank is 80% bionic and 20%? mechanical, playing into the “this fucker is a MACHINE.” and the reason for him being so augmented so much, is that revival sort of Doesnt exist. yeah. death is fucking Permanent, and stuff like medicbags is a scarce find (can you tell tuppoi made this timeline.) so the only way to efficiently heal yourself is to augment yourself. Which is why hank looks like a fucking soldat on destiny steroids. and why he has that big fuckoff blade which can be replaced for other parts (but thats mostly to make him kill quicker) but by fucking god im not drawing them!! one of them is a railgun reconfigured into a rifle, and i’m NOT DRAWING THAT !!
but yeah. key takeaways;
— tuppoi (terminal) au is cyberpunk 2077 but nevada and everything is a utopia governed by Fuckshit Von Tupperware
— dissenters want reality fucked up and nuked because in every timeline they hate tuppoi (mostly true)
— tuppoi’s character arc is “i miss my brother -> “Reality is pointless and so is progression, it’s best if it was all reset and built anew under a more purposeful gaze.”
— i need to ramble about these fuckshits more so thank you for invading my home, throwing my furniture around like a gmod prophunt map, and asking for This
as a bonus heres terminal tuppoi & int i never posted because i forgor

Razor so handsome, but I was biting my nails to have yj not fuck over his character development.
I also love that rainbow reference because like…that’s Kyle. That’s Kyle white lantern bullshit. I love him (but also yj can’t touch my 90’s boys after the shit they pulled with Wally don’t even breathe in Connor and Kyle’s direction I swear to Christ /hj)
Also the cosmic treadmill got me all up in my feelies, don’t know how I feel about them using flash lore…don’t know how I feel about all that. But overall, I legit just love Razor with all my heart and like…I love green lantern animated so much, i always felt sorta bitter that it never got a reboot like yj did but for now, this is enough. However, like I need the new popsicle boy to meet up with Hal and Walker after all this and go “heeeeyyyy”. It’s just nice to hear his voice, I know that’s kind of silly but idk I like razor’s voice, and him and kilawog fuckK ME…the BOYS
Also this means Carol is a star sapphire in yj, so girlboss win.
I honestly would not have cared if they had messed with his character development because i never expected them to stick so close to the GLTAS story like they did. Even if they had just straight up made him an evil red lantern working with the light, I still would be happy to know he exists on earth 16 at all.
Rainbow Razer would be the ultimate power move for grandon to pull. God, imagine he shows back up later, not only a white lantern, but also having Aya with him to help in the final battle.
I assume by Connor you mean Connor Hawke. The only way I can see them bringing him in is if they did another big time skip (which I really don’t want them to do). Though “hey you have a kid you didn’t know about” stories always crack me up. I’m still curious to see if they ever actually show that Bruce is Damian’s father or not.
Not sure how I feel about the cosmic treadmill either, though it is always nice to see Bart do something.
Yaaaaaas bring in Saint Walker! He was one of my favorites in GLTAS (though Razer is always THE fav). I feel ya on the voice thing. That is how a lot of the fandom seems to feel about Wally whenever he shows up as a hallucination.

Oh boy then. Oh BOY.
So. Ghost X Saber I didn’t have much to say about, right? It’s fun, it’s cute, it’s nostalgic, it’s an excuse for two Riders to meet and do a finisher together and that’s all it needs to be -- frankly given what came before, that already made it better than every Telasa Kamen Rider special. I didn’t need anything more and was just very happy to have that, as were a lot of my Ghost-loving friends around me.
SPECTER X BLADES THOUGH??? FUCKKKING HELL!! Who-- who came up with this? Who DECIDED that for the very fun and simple idea of “hey, Saber’s head writer was the head writer of Ghost too, why don’t we get back some of Ghost’s characters for a cute little anniversary crossover?” would be a follow-up to fucking V-CINEMA LORE, and also somehow make that one of the greatest and most important pieces of Kamen Rider Ghost media in existence?
I’m not lying, this is not a joke, and while I’ve kind of already made this post before when I first watched this special I’ve also been hiding it during this whole Ghost rewatch: this came out during my weekly watch of the show (granted not super early; it was during the late 30s) and by watching what was both essentially the endpoint of Ghost’s saga then and something that was made years after any other Ghost-focused material, it ended up influencing my opinion of the show and its themes a fair bit: because it is an incredibly important evolution of the show’s themes -- Ghost was a show about the inherent importance of life and how it should be celebrated in all shapes and forms, to which the V-Cinema and then much more importantly this special said... what is life? What counts? When we bring ideas of cloning and artificial life into the fray, how does that mix precisely with a traditional buddhist worldview that takes ideas of life back to fundamental ideas of nature? And the answer, very wonderfully, is that you accept it. No matter the feelings on if the means of creation are good, no matter if they’re a clone, no matter if right now they’re in a robotic zombie-like state and you could argue their emotions are artificial... their emotions are still real, these are still real people, these are still walking talking humans and ultimately any line you could draw between them and ‘naturally born’ humans are so blurry as to be non-existent. It’s frankly a super important thing for a series like Kamen Rider that’s so typically about life and following our lives to state that these peoples’ lives still matter, and we should both strive to give them a happy life and accept them as family.
Family, huh? Interesting concept! By the end of Ghost and in retrospect of the show, my feelings were that while Ghost’s themes were very strong; they were also at many stages threatened to be toppled over by its at many points extreme insistence on blood family. On fathers and sons and brothers and sisters and husbands and wives. It was a show that... that desperately needed at least one episode where the idea of family could be challenged by a fractured family that was fractured for a reason and where a character had very good reasons to be away from said family; and that those were lines that were never going to be reconnected -- that might sound like it goes against Ghost’s entire thesis, but if it’s a thesis that can easily have holes poked in it by viewers - by children - who have such experiences, then I think it’s fair to say it’s pretty flawed and needed to be challenged in this way. In particular what would have helped is a framing of family not purely as one of blood, but one that can be found -- you can argue in many ways this was what Ghost’s main cast was, but I personally don’t find it to be especially so compared to other main casts. It needed a focus on a family that aren’t related by blood but still love each other and still consider each other to be as close as family, and that that is a sentiment worth protecting. 
This is what Rintarou is. I can’t believe I’m sitting here praising Saber characters and it’s not a thought I had when I watched this last year, but dammit, as Touma states right at the end; Rintarou is family to him and Mei and that’s just as real and legitimate as Makoto’s family. It’s a small moment and just a couple of lines really right at the end but again, considering this is the last piece of Ghost media and that with the dumbass cliffhanger stinger of some guy aside, this is the very last scene of Kamen Rider Ghost? It’s a beautiful note to end on that brings it all full circle. I was so ready to push the Saber cast here aside as cute but nothing that important, but really Rintarou’s constant exploration of family throughout the special is deeply important to the themes of the piece and I’m seriously coming around to liking him now god fucking help me.
You know what helps this whole evolution-of-Ghost’s-themes-5-years-later thing? Kanon. If you had told me before this special that Kanon would become a central character in a piece of media where she gets to be a cool Rider and is one of the most important characters in the expanding mythos of Ghost’s themes... well I probably would have said “Ghost had themes?” because that was before my rewatch, but nevertheless I would have been confused; and then completely blown away by this special! It’s... it’s a fascinating thing to see a background character grow into their own protagonist many years later. I’ve seen it done before but none were as special to me as this one. The idea that Kanon after being in the background of Ghost’s cast this whole time, not really doing much; mostly being a bit of a damsel unfortunately, has now grown into someone with her own set of ideals influenced deeply by what she’d learned during Ghost and following them in her own way; protecting what she feels is life and family to her by taking up a belt... that’s cool, right? That’s fucking cool as hell?? This isn’t just a really great win for women (and to be sure, she manages to hold the title of one of the best female riders ever effortlessly), it’s what I think is a careful and considered choice for Ghost’s themes. It’s the values of the people who fought before her being passed onto her, who as a new hero; sets out on her own quest for her own convictions. It’s very similar to what was going on with Ayumu in Final Stage but actually a lot stronger here to me, since it’s a character we’ve known for a long time coming into her own and we know precisely who she’s going through all this for.
AND THEN THEY JUST GO. ABSOLUTELY NUTS?? THEY PULL OUT SPECTER’S V-CINEMA FORM, THEY GIVE KANON HER OWN COOL AS SHIT SUIT, BLADES USES A DEEP SPECTER POWERUP OF ALL THINGS, THEY DO ALL THESE COOL SPECIAL EFFECTS AGAINST V-CIN LORE VILLAINS AND IT’S JUST-- IT’S JUST AWESOME!! THE WHOLE THING IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST KAMEN RIDER SPECIALS I’VE EVER SEEN AND I WON’T HEAR OTHERWISE
So. Yeah! That was Specter X Blades, and if it wasn’t clear already, I do not mind in the slightest this being the final note we end on for my rewatch of Kamen Rider Ghost. I did not in a million years expect a TTFC crossover special with Saber focused on secondary characters to be this well-made and beautifully thought out and so evolutionary of everything that was good about Kamen Rider Ghost, but it truly did bring it all full circle to what I was liking about the show these past couple years. Thanks to OOO’s 10th anniversary movie coming right out of nowhere, this project isn’t 100% complete quite yet; but as far as Ghost is considered... yeah. I am so happy for this to be the final page we close the book on. Saber may not have been a series that done a lot for me, but sometimes... sometimes it was really good at giving me exactly what I needed, and this was one of those times.

TEVINTER NIGHTS details (new)
ohh shit ohh fuckk Not a drill! Under the cut because spoilers. Don’t look if you want to read these short stories unspoiled.
serious SPOILER WARNING.
also please bear in mind I was working from fragments and trying my best to infer, so it’s not going to be perfectly correct like an oracle!
Dorian is in it
Maevaris is in it
Vaea is in it
no Zevran from what I can see sorry :’( [but bear in mind I can’t see all of it] BUT there is reference to House Arainai
Solas is mentioned at least 4 times by the name Solas
Solas or his new cultists seemingly have ordered his/their agents “Death before capture” they fucking SUICIDE PILL rather than be captured WTF?? or at least one agent in a story does. (see quotes below)
it also reads like they’re blowing up/bombing/trying to blow up towns of thousands of people???
Felassan is mentioned
A FEMALE ELF WHO SHAPESHIFTED INTO A HALLA and then a falcon and a snowy owl. she has short hair, freckles and striking features; I’m love
STRIFE THE ELF. 
a reference to the HoF; or more specifically an assassin family lost face when they failed to complete a contract on their life
An Executor is in it and talks, has interactions with several different types of characters
werewolves!!
in the first story a City Elf-turned-Dalish and a lowborn Tevinter mage are taken as slaves by invading Qunari during their invasion of Tevinter, escape and learn to work together to overcome their prejudices and such in order to survive (since they were chained together). Dalish/elvhen lore is quite prominent in this short.
The Qunari are moving into Rivain. “You need to get word to the clans before they land.” Clans in Rivain confirmed again?
Divine Victoria appears, seems to be kept neutral/non-specific i.e. can be any of the 3
Venatori mentions
red lyrium encounters
there’s a new Dalish clan name given, Oranavra
one story seems to deal with a clan getting back their precious ironbark halla statue
Andruil mentioned several times. Ghilan’nain mentioned
we’re going to Arlathan Forest. it has entities protecting it called Forest Guardians or sth
there is some sort of order or guild called the Lords of Fortune. they are treasurehunters, the order seems to be Rivaini in origin but like others can join?
also the first story features a Tevinter male mage (not magister) who is MLM
there’s a Qunari rank Bas-taar it means Keeper of Bas
Charter appears and she does gay pining for Tessa, twice
Sutherland and company appear and go on a mission. We get some insight into each of their pasts
Philliam, a Bard! appears. he argues with Genetivi
Varric as Viscount Tethras is mentioned
Kal-Sharok is mentioned
Cassandra is mentioned, seems to appear in Sidony’s flashback
Josephine is mentioned
we return to Skyhold as it is the setting for a story
more wiping out of Dalish groups fucks sake Bioware
a Rasaan is in it
Genetivi is in it
Dagna appears
Valya mentioned, doing new research into new weird darkspawn phenomena. and HOLY SHIT, the new darkspawn revelations in this book!!
the Antaam attacked without the permission of the rest of the Qunari govt
Sidony from DAMP is in it
without an army Antiva’s only line of defense against the Qunari is the Crows
Kirkwall’s events & boom referenced
Serault glass mirrors mentioned
House Danarius mentioned, a mage from the house was mentioned as having been up to something
a new type of demon I think, Regret. & the implication that there are spirits of Contemplation and Introspection. I think the Regret we see, “the regret of a god”, is Solas’ regret :S Sutherland and Co are dispatched to Skyhold to deal with it, it had like taken up residence in the deserted building or something. seems like all Solas’ regrets about what’s occurred and his choices like coalesced into this spirit (not literally but the spirit took the form because the feeling was so strong)
many cameo appearances from minor npcs who were Skyhold staffers
necromancers in Nevarra get skeletons to do their chores and its totally normal
there is an establishment called the Nug Queen
“hollix” means something like “irrepressible rascal” in old Tevene
no mention of live griffons from what I can see
Isseya is mis-spelled as Issenya
Quotes:
As though my good works were insufficient to draw compassionate spirits who might wish me protected, as though I were some common criminal binding spirits through blood magic, not the victim of the Dread Wolf himself! they returned with
[suicide pill entry] Her teeth clenched. Green foam started to fill her mouth. I dropped her to the ground and she started spasming, her legs drumming on the wooden deck. Her back arched once, twice, and then she was still. I knelt beside her and put my fingers to the side of her throat. Nothing. Dead. Damnit. “And that’s the other reason I didn’t join. Death before capture. Not my sort of thing at all.”
The words battered us like storm winds, and the Dread Wolf’s jaws closed upon the Tevinter mage, snapping him up in an instant as he screamed in terror. The lesser demons rushed down upon us, crackling with fire and lightning and our
us, and the demons that had accompanied the Dread Wolf burst into the world in righteous fury, shining warriors with blades forged from the raw fade itself and behind them, dimly visible through the crackling light, the shadow of the beast
“And now we know that the Dread Wolf has agents working for him,” the bard added, his mask glittering in the firelight as he tossed back his golden locks. “and that he has the power to kill those who oppose him as they sleep.”
“I act freely. For the Dread Wolf. To bring back what was once ours - what must be ours again.” Dread Wolf. Crap. I’d heard the rumors of course - dozens of elves, off to heed the call of some god. Guess I’d found one of them, at least. “The Qunari left sooner than I’d expected - their trail grew cold. But I had you. You found them for me.
All painted by Solas, the Inquisition’s expert on the Veil and the Fade beyond. It was his gift of record. At least, that’s what was claimed at the time. The rotunda they entered now was not fastidiously clean like the rest of Skyhold. The floor was
“Tevinter’s intelligence network declined to answer our request,” Charter said, “As did the Ben-Hassrath.” She grimaced. “The latter is especially disappointing. They had more knowledge of Solas’ movements than anyone else. They also”
“‘Solas’ is also not true.” “Pride,” said Laudine. “It means pride.” Rasaan stopped and cocked an eye. “Very good,” she said. Names were important to the Qunari. They were named for their roles, and roles defined their identities. Their actual
“Beyond that, the Inquisition knows little about what Solas intends. Much of his research involves the Veil that separates our world from the world of the spirits. He claimed to have created it, and he asked the Inquisition for help activating
A lone elf. My client. [...] The rune that she’d given me - she held it aloft, examining it critically. Muttering a single word over and over again.  “Felassan, Felassan, Felassan.” There was a hum, and the rune began to glow a steady and unpleasant red. I’d been around enough magic to know that was probably not a good thing.
“But you are now known to Fen’Harel. He has eyes everywhere. Inside Tevinter, without a doubt.” “So where should we go?” Irian asked quietly. She had moved closer, and was standing directly beside me.
The Fen’Harel question. How many lives had ended, seeking an answer? Four more, if our turn chasing a legend fails tonight. But we’ve dragged truth from the darkness beneath Tevinter, found pages that will guide
of those damned Fen'Harel cultists. 'Ooh, if we blow up enough people, ancient Elvhenan is definitely coming back.'” She caught my questioning glance. “They tried to recruit me a few years ago. I said no.” 
as the Avvar do. But whatever fear the name Dread Wolf carries, he has earned. While we might visit the Fade, it is his natural home, and the spirits there serve him gladly. They whisper in my dreams now, accusing me of crimes I never
the wolves. Each event that had shaped the Inquisition was being stripped of color.
The division of the mortal realm from the Fade was not a natural state that had always existed. It was an event, a moment in time that had literally shattered the elven empire. Pieces of that glory now drifted beyond dream and will, with the Dread Wolf stalking between. But other pieces remained, displaced in the physical world.
Elves are slim, but its their eyes and ears we recall. Humans have the most variety in the shoulders, and all anyone sees about qunari are height and horns
In our veins runs true Tevinter blood, passed down from the dreamers -
You all know that the Antaam invaded without permission of the other branches of Qunari government? We had assumed this would hobble them, but it appears the priests and workers were a moderating influence. Without them, the Antaam have crushed the Tevinter opposition in the east, and I fear everything east of Vyrantium will be under their control within a year, and northern Antiva as well.
The Inquisition had to be disbanded, they argued.. The Inquisition wasn’t the first army it had hosted. It would remain a distant beacon, so that all would remember when the Inquisitor had rallied the people of Thedas against a false god
He couldn’t be killed until his blighted dragon was dead, and the Herald had somehow countered with a dragon of their own. And there was a dragon on the panel, with an Inquisition blade in its neck. But according to the story
Every act of the Inquisitor recorded in masterful plaster and paint. From the explosion that had marked the Herald, to the triumph against a blighted false god
matter to her that Sidony wanted nothing to do with the fate of her home country? The Inquisitor does not want to see that happen to Nevarra. Or did it only matter that the Inquisitor was pleased?
The Inquisitor has taken a chance on his potential. But more than that, the Inquisitor had stood for him. Had stood for them all. Made them feel like they were worth it and could help. Made them look forward.
We bounced once, twice, jostling with the magical orb but it still held
Something huge trembled around us, a spirit so great that it shook parts of the Fade I had always considered to be neutral, devoid of life. - and high overhead, where the Black City shadowed the sky, I heard a great booming roar
So that’s what it was. “Supposed to be a piece of the Black City itself. ‘A reminder of man’s hubris, and of the unique and glorious divinity of the Maker’.” I snorted. “Seems like a bunch of nug shit to me.” “Regardless, the artifact has been stolen.
“Anything else?” “Whoever clips the Crows’ wings will walk by my side when we enter the Black City and take glory back for the Imperium.”
The Blight is over, or so it seems. Valya, a young elven mage recently recruited into the Wardens, has been tasked with studying the historical records of previous Blights in order to gain insight into newly reported, and disturbing, darkspawn phenomena. Her research into the
One of our best smiths has been studying red lyrium, and she says the blasted stuff is tainted by the Blight. A few families might’ve tried to keep smuggling it after that, but we shut that down. The Carta believes in business. Blight is bad for business.
So when this Dalish elf comes around asking can someone get the lyrium idol out of what’s left of the statue, our first thought was to send him back to his clan with a few new tattoos on his face, if you know what I mean. Plus, the idol is
“Or he could be a demon impersonating an elf,” the Mortalitasi said, sipping her wine. “What he does is not... especially Tevinter.” the Mortalitasi said with a sneer. “since most of it is built over where the ancient elves lived.”
“FROM THIS MOMENT, SHOULD YOU EVER BIND A SPIRIT, THEN YOUR LIFE IS MINE.” The hypocrisy almost made me laugh. The Dread Wolf forbade us from binding spirits, but why would these lesser demons attack us if not because the
but before the Tevinter mage could complete his ritual, the Dread Wolf arrived... burning eyes like a pride demon, and it came to us on wings of fire that resolved themselves into a horde of lesser demons as the Dread Wolf landed before us
The mark of the Pride demon, Audric realized. 
“I would caution you in dealing with those across the sea,” he said, “they are dangerous. “More dangerous than the elf who threatens the world?”
